This is your magnum opus Adam, i loved this game, the abrupt ending, no jumpscares, no cheap scares, that is just it! It's just not real.

I didn't get to experience the "i know who you are effect" since my username was "home" and i still haven't figured out the pattern to get your photo inside of the folder. Graphics and camera movement was great and realistic, the colors were in black in whie for fitting reasons and didn't ruin anything. Very interesting.

My biggest and only complaint, is that the questions in the survey didn't affect anything. Also not enough questions. The progressions, wait periods were fitting. I would really recommend this game to horror lovers. 8/10, decent.

Thank you so much! (^o^) I really appreciate these kinds of comments, and the detail helps me make better games in the future.

Also, I'm glad you didn't exactly get the "I know who you are" effect, because that isn't exactly what the intention was. You actually got the right effect! In my game, you're playing as YOUR OWN computer, not a person. Your name is "home"!

I've received a lot of people telling me that the questions should have affected something, but this was by design. I regret the fact that, the way the game plays out, most people interpret the story as "an AI with free will" when it's actually the opposite. You have no free will, as whatever choices you made are the ones that the programmer wanted you to make.

But alas, it is what it is, and I'm just glad that people have been able to enjoy it in their own way!
